Train load

Train loads can be used to define a group of loads acting on a plate. The group of loads can contain point loads, line loads and rectangular loads. In general, the group is supposed to represent a train, vehicle or a series of vehicles that move over the designed plate.

We may talk about two ways the train load can be used. For both variants you must first define the group of loads. The difference is in the application of the group of loads.

Single train load

The group of loads can be placed on the structure to a fixed position. The train load is converted into a standard free load.

Moving train load

The group of loads can be placed on a track and can be "triggered" to move along the track. A set of load cases is automatically generated. Each load case corresponds to one position of the moving train load.
